A 31-year-old woman from Wethersfield, Connecticut, has been charged with sexually coercing a 13-year-old boy she met online. Amily Colon, who went by the alias ‘Alice’, allegedly initiated an online relationship with the minor in New York, communicating through the Discord app. The conversations quickly turned explicit, with Colon coercing the boy to send her a sexually explicit video of himself. In return, she sent him explicit images and videos of herself. On June 26, 2026, Colon traveled to Long Island, picked up the boy, and brought him to her residence in Wethersfield, where she attempted to engage in sexual activity.
Colon’s actions led to her arrest and charges of attempted coercion and enticement of a minor, as well as transportation of a minor to engage in sexual activity. Each offense carries a mandatory minimum of 10 years imprisonment and a maximum of life. Colon appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas O. Farrish in Hartford and was ordered to be detained.
The investigation was conducted by the FBI New Haven Child Exploitation Task Force, the FBI’s Long Island Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, and the Suffolk County Police Department, with assistance from the Wethersfield Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Alexis L. Beyerlein and Nancy V.
U.S. Attorney David X. Sullivan stressed that a criminal complaint is only a charge and not evidence of guilt. Colon is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
